The chalice is derived from Hebrew Passover ceremonies. I’ve never seen a wooden such cup... ever. The first chalice was probably stoneware; The Sancta Caliz in Barcelona, a 1st-century B.C. Syrian articfact with a history tracing back to the 2nd century as the chalice of the Last Supper, is agate, a semi-precious stone.
